• I wouldn't be surprised if the Tories use it as a way of getting out of the Cummings problem by:-
    a) Eventually saying they won't review the existing fines
    b) Get Durham Police to fine Cummings for his trip
    c) Cummings to release a statement saying he's been shown the error of his ways
    d) Johnson et al to continue to support him staying in his role and all, one by one, slowly back down on supporting him.

    But still don't see how they can do (d) since so many have nailed their colours to the mast so equivocally, especially on utterly bonkers shit like driving for 30 minutes if you're worried about your eyesight.

    Hopefully they'll be more ministerial resignations. One isn't enough to destabilise a Government.

  • c) Cummings to release a statement saying he's been shown the error of his ways

    I think this is why they can't do this - Cummings is a narcissist who has never been told no in a way that is meaningful, he'll refuse any mea culpa just as he did at the press conference.
